The interest in Norwegian oil major Equinors proposed Rosebank oil field has steadily been growing on Twiiter, and has now entered the fediverse. The more activity we see around the #StopRosebank tag, the more pressure we put on Equinor.

First org I’ve found sharing it here is
@fossilfreelondon, so give them a follow.

More like #BlackSpamday, amirite?
There are campaigns in Norway now pointing out that two of the things that make Norway Norway, are on a collision course with each other. They are both culturally significant. They are snowy winters for wintersports and oil exploration/production. #EquinorOut
When Norway’s major oil and gas industry group changed their name from "Norwegian Oil and Gas" to "Offshore Norway", I took for granted it was a greenwashing excerise. I was right, they’re still fighting hard for more climate disaster.

Excited to learn that the Tour Down Under will be heading through the small town I'll be staying in over summer.

Immediately thinking about my anti-Santos banner. (They have the naming rights)

Will probably just go with a simple, "Frack off Santos" but happy to take suggestions.

I was very strict on Twitter, posting climate, energy, communications only.

I’m taking the opportunity of being on this new platform to show you my dog doing a very long jump on a beach. So long we had to bribe him to do it again so we could film it.

Also @brynnobrien ‘s dog.

#FriendlyJordies has uploaded an updated video post his house firebombing.

Unfortunately, this has led to him temporarily top posting his jouralistic invesigative videos.

That I assume was the aim of the firebombing. Hopefully, this will be investigated quickly.

I shared this spreadsheet the other day but then deleted the post in a moment of confusion.

Anyway, this is my Chumps and Champs list of fossil fuel sponsorships in Australia.

I had the idea after seeing Tim Winton's speech at the Perth Festival where he said that arts organisations that accept fossil fuel sponsorships aren't evil, but they are chumps.

I'm always adding to the list, and happy to update if anyone has more info.

Chumps and Champs

Chumps CHUMPS,This is a non-exhaustive list of fossil fuel sponsorships in Australia. The activities of fossil fuel companies are destroying our chances of retaining a liveable planet. These organisations are well-intentioned, believing they'll use the funding for good. However, the positive imp...

If you follow me, you'd probably be interested in following my partner @brynnobrien . We work in climate during the week, and are unfortunately forced to promote a fossil fuel company on the weekends. So we got the tape and the #fossiladban stickers out.

Funny, not funny news from Norway:

Norway's biggest emitter Oil company Equinor, which has a 200 ppl strong communications department convincing Norwegians their oil is clean, was recently not even considered for the first national Greenwashing Award. Their greenwashing didn't qualify, as Equinor is not selling oil directly to Norwegian consumers.
So much for understanding how greenwashing is a reputation exercise, not only meant to sell products.
